A heart attack can lead to substantial long-term health complications that severely impact the victim's quality of life. Damage to the heart muscle can cause fatigue, limited ability to engage in strenuous activity, shortness of breath and other complications. Many heart attacks are preventable, and happen when a doctor fails to recognize the signs or fails to take appropriate action. Failing to diagnose and promptly treat a heart attack can also cause significant injury or death.
In cases where a doctor's negligence contributed to a preventable heart attack, victims may be entitled to compensation for their medical care, loss of income and other considerations. If you believe your heart attack occurred, or was made worse, due to a doctor's failed diagnosis, you should have your case reviewed by a medical malpractice attorney as soon as possible.
